a random encounter

A Stranger –

A positive meeting. I was a stranger in a strange land and needed a place to stay. Found a church and the pastor who was talking to Pat, a Fulbright Scholar, who knew where I could stay but first we had to have lunch and a few beers to talk about it. That included a discussion on the proofs for the existence of God. Her friend Martin, a Jew and also a Fulbright Scholar, was not happy. I was the second Catholic he had to put up because of Pat. Martin did a lot of entertaining and I would have to share all expenses with him. That would include two Russian students that he met at the University and Rocky, the first Catholic he had to put up. We all had too much to drink and made fun of our government but not theirs. After that the Russians would have nothing to do with us. Apparently they got reported for what they did.
